Filenames from other platforms have to be converted by the application (here:
Lazarus IDE) before passing them to RTL file function

There should not be, but (history: DOS and) WinApi accept them, so the

Then relative paths need to be expanded internally before use. If I have a
deeply nested directory structure with paths longer than 255 characters then
relative paths should work the same as when having sho
